Jergens cast iron tooling columns create rigidity

Jergens has developed cast iron tooling columns for horizontal machining to provide maximum rigidity by using a single-piece, cast-iron construction.
Several mounting options are possible including direct, with a centre pin locating or edge locating, and also quick-change applications via ZPS with K20 pull studs and four-module subplate.
New column styles include square, cross, and rectangular. The square and cross styles are suitable for high-density, multipart fixtures or incorporating multiple operations into a single column. The cross style allows better spindle access near the column, eliminating the need for extra-long tools. The larger upright faces of the rectangular columns are suitable for applications involving larger workpieces.
Column construction uses stress relieved, class 40 cast iron, with the base and sides milled flat, perpendicular, and parallel within 0.001 in./ft. providing an accurate foundation on which to set up workholding devices or quick-change systems.
Other features include a centre-locating bore, inch and metric hole patterns, and M12 lifting holes for secure hoist ring attachment.
